PRESS: Hear Amy on Amateur Traveler talking about the South Side of Chicago

Amy was invited to be a guest on the renown podcast The Amateur Traveler to discuss a topic she just can’t shut up about, the South Side of Chicago where she grew up. Hear her discuss many favorite spots, many places the tourism department just doesn’t tell visitors about – Camp Douglas where 18,000 Confederate prisoners died during one particularly bad Chicago Winter, The Oriental Institute where the real artifacts of the real Indiana Jones are on display, the best place to pick up candy skulls for the Day of the Dead, and the best authentic (meaning thin crust) pizza in Chicago. Oh, and did someone mention Bacon Buns?

Listen to Amy Bugbee blather on about the history of the South Side and barely let genial host Chris Christensen get a word in.
